STOCK PRICES UP
MARKET’S FEARS ALLAYED AID
THE CLOSING WAS STRONG.
GAINS OF ITO 3 POINTS
WERE FREQUENT AMONG LEADING
STOCKS OF LIST.
Market Free from Pressure ot
Liquidation So That Small Buying
Was Effective in Lifting Prices.
Small Supply of Stocks Enabled
Holders to Advance the Asking
prices— lncrease in L. &N. Dlvi.
dens Helped Whole Southern
Group.
.New York, Dec. 16. —The nervous
tremors which have afflicted the stock
market all through the week were
quieted to-day; the advancing ten
dency which has been in evidence prac
tically ever since the downward course
waa arrested on Tuesday was more
consistent and uninterrupted than at
any previous .time on the recovery and
the day’s gains were held with com
parative firmness.
The market was entirely free from
any pressure of liquidation, so that
the small buying was effective in lift
ing prices and the supply of stocks
was so scanty as to enable holders to
advance the asking price.
The United States Steel stocks con
tinued in large demand and were
helped by the report of the placing
of a large order for steel rails for
Pennsylvania.
Southern Ronds Strong.
The increase in the Louisville and
Nashville dividend radiated a sympa
thetic effect amongst its affliliated prop
erties and the whole Southern group.
Reports of a definite adjustment of the
U mid-Pennsylvania troubles met with
some disclaimers, but the impression
was allowed that the seriousness of
the dispute had been exaggerated.
The outgoing gold movement was
practically ignored as money was of
fered in abundance, and at lower in
terest rates. The continued inflow of
currency from the interior promises
to largely offset the week's decline
of gold exports and on other accounts.
I,Mte in the day the perception of the
freedom from pressure on the market
led to a lively bidding up of prices
throughout and the closing was very
strong at the top level. Gains of 1
to s points are frequent amongst the
•leading stocks.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par
value. $4,195,000. United States bonds
were unchanged.

Bradatreet's Notes Tilts of the Farm
ers of th Sooth.
New York, Dec. 16.—Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Trade, crop and industrial conditions
are mainly favorable, and with season
able activity in retail and holiday dis
tribution in most sections, the year
is drawing to its close with a decided
ly cheerful tone pervading most lines
of business effort.
The area in winter wheat will not
equal that planted a year ago, and
conditions on Dec. 1 were low, but
since the government report Was Is
sued the Western drought has been
fairly well broken by rains and snow.
Cold weather Was stimulated heavy
dry goods, clothing and footwear, and
helped re-order business with Jobbers
East, West and North. Exceptions to
reports of widespread activity in holi
day distribution come from the Pacific
coast and from portions of the South,
which latter reports cotton marketing
slower and collections tardier. Plenteous
supplies of cheap money render the
holding of cotton easier than in other
years.
Industry as a whole Is active, iron
and steel notably so, but building trades
feel seasonable quieting influences and
cotton manufacturing Is not active In
all its branches. Railway earnings for
November show gains in gross exceed
ing 9 per cent.
Business failures for the week ending
D<“c. 15 number 239. against 239 in the
like week in 1903.
DRY GOODS MARKET.
New York. Dec. 16.—The dry goods
situation has changed but little, and
yet - the manufacturer and local mer
chant feel encouraged over the out
look. Buyers are operating a little
further ahead and are finding Increased
difficulties in getting deliveries, and
the majorities of lines are In first-class
conditions, as far as orders are con
cerned.
